Overview

Chroma is a vector database for storing and querying embeddings, used as the retrieval layer for RAG and semantic search in AI applications. Its client library connects applications to collections of vectors and metadata.

Why the cloudimg image

Chroma runs as a service behind an nginx reverse proxy, hardened, with data on a dedicated resizable data disk. A unique HTTP basic authentication password is generated on first boot into a root only file while the heartbeat endpoint stays open for health checks, and 24/7 cloudimg support covers collection design, embeddings and scaling.

Common uses

  • Retrieval augmented generation
  • Semantic search backends
  • Embedding storage
